i have an AMD® RYZEN™ R7 1800X, Extreme DDR4 2666MHz Memory - 32GB, x2 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Ti GPU W/HBB Bridge. i would like to stream on twitch ( yes i am a partnered streamer) on 1080p 60 fps. i have researched and tried for about 7 hours and still have yet to find right settings. i would even settle for 720p 60 fps until i get better NET. 250 dowhnload 8Upload. ive consulted with other gamers and streamers and no one seems to know ideal settings for an amd processor. regrettably this is what i bought and spent 5k for but now im trying to make the best of it! i am in need of an expert in this area and am willing to give you some money if you can assist me in perfecting these settings! we have tried everything!!!

The main factor will be your 8Mpbs/upload. That is sort of on the lower end in doing 1080@60fps and borderline according to my findings.
The connection needs to be very stable and constant. I wouldn't worry about the 1800X, its more than powerful enough for X264 (software encoding), less of a factor if you use NVENC H.264 (Nvidia encoding).

Go to the Output section. Click on the Streaming Tab. Try these settings to see where it leads:
- CBR
- NVENC H.264
- Bitrate 6000-7200
- High quality Preset
- Keyframe 2

Start off on the higher bitrate at 7200 and pull up the View | Stats to see if frames are dropping or not. Unless you got a really high quality Internet line, you want to set bitrate 15-20% below your ISP's claimed upload speed to leave you with margin for error.

If you start seeing drops, lower it by 200 increments until you find a good spot with no errors. Mind you, your Internet connection is going to fluctuate everyday so you will need to tweak this on a daily basis.

After you see no frame drops, then do a test run to YouTube live or Twitch and watch your resultant stream in full 1080. Look for artififacts, patchy pixelation, fuzziness. If you see those then you need to make more tweaks, perhaps even lower resolution to 12809x720 (720p) at 60fps, switch to software encoding, etc.

These work well for me on a system similar to yours. But my concern would be your 8Mbps upload as I have found that is in a grey area. You may have to do 720@60fps using x.264 instead.
